I edited a large volume of Nourishing Lab instagram posts via Honor Code Creative. I also wrote almost all of Gemvara's Facebook posts, including quizzes, daily deals copy, and responded to customer queries and concerns in a very timely manner. I wrote Gemvara's Pinterest tagline, and managed the blog for a time and mentored a junior writer. We were nominated for a BostInno award for best blog.
